If you are looking for a book to help you plan your shorter day hikes, this is the one.I bought 3 books on hiking in Glacier but "Glacier Day Hikes" was the best. This book gave me the information I needed to determine which hikes would get me to the best shots in Glacier in a relatively short period of time.

Useful guide for hiking in Glacier National Park
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Glacier Day Hikes, was a very useful & helful book on a recent trip to Glacier National Park. The guide is filled with tips, like the best time to hike, items of interest along the trail and distance & duration. I recommed hiking St. Mary and Virginia Falls, Hidden Lake and Appekunny Falls. Especially if you enjoy viewing snowmelt waterfalls! Get out of your car when visiting Glacier National Park; over 700 miles of trails exist for you to explore. If you are interested in plants, an excellent companion book is Wildflowers of Glacier National Park and Surrounding Areas by Shannon Fitzpatrick Kimball and Peter Lesica (Trillium Press). This book is very user friendly and is more than just a refernce book of wildflowers. Glacier National Park is a horticulturist's paradise.
Good preparation for hikes in Glacier

I read this book and picked out short, day hikes for my wife and I before going to Glacier National Park. It gives length of hike, elevation change, rates the difficulty, gives a map, and describes the scenery and landmarks along the way. I used it on the hike to help find the way, because the park trails are not always marked very well.
